Van Gogh Museum entry: one ticket, one start time

What's in the Van Gogh Museum collection
- 200+
- paintings
- 500
- drawings
- 750
- letters
The museum holds more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 750 letters by Van Gogh, its ticket listing says.
Your ticket covers the permanent collection and the current exhibitions. There is no extra fee for exhibitions.
The museum's interactive audio tour comes in twelve languages. You book it together with your ticket.
Is The Bedroom in the museum?
Yes. The museum lists The Bedroom (1888) among the masterpieces always on view in its permanent collection.
Sunflowers, Almond Blossom and The Potato Eaters are on that list too.
Two picks that are not the museum
The immersive show is a 40-minute projection show in the Noorderkerk church, not in the museum.
The private art walk is a 2-hour tour outdoors. It does not go into any museum.
Where it is: Museumplein, Amsterdam
The Van Gogh Museum is at Museumplein 6, in Amsterdam.
From Centraal Station, tram 2 takes about 17 minutes to the Museumplein stop. GVB calls it a scenic route: it passes the canals, the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.
Our guide to Amsterdam public transport explains the tickets and fares.
Van Gogh Museum hours
The museum is open every day, but its hours change with the season. From 2 November 2026 it is open 9:00 to 17:00, with Fridays until 21:00.
Check the museum's calendar for your date before you book.
Booking tips for the Van Gogh Museum
Go early or late
The ticket listing says 11:00 to 15:00 is the busiest time. Book a slot between 9:00 and 11:00, or after 15:00.
Book when your dates are set
There are no tickets at the door, so book as soon as you know your day.
Buy from an official seller
Use the museum's own shop or a named reseller such as GetYourGuide. Other sites may sell fake tickets.
Bringing kids
The museum does not recommend the audio guide for children up to 12. Under-18s enter free, so it is one of the better-value things to do in Amsterdam for families.
